I Don't Want to Be a Heroic Soul

"ticking"

""Tick-tock" is like the sound of water drops dripping on the stone platform.

The sticky blood dripped on the old wooden floor and seeped in easily, because the dim environment showed a dark red color.

Ayatsuji Ayase His lips trembled in fright, and he reached out to cover his mouth in shock.

The two figures in the field faced each other, each holding a sword and keeping still, looking at the two people. Tsuji Ayase and the followers all held their breath subconsciously, not knowing whether they were waiting for something or fearing something.

The complex and incomprehensible emotions surging in their hearts followed the two people present. The first person to make any movement was Kurashiki Kuroto.

His tall figure suddenly staggered, his left leg was bent and he was half kneeling on the ground, and the giant snake bone sword in his hand was hanging down weakly.

"What was that... called just now?"

There was a hint of weakness in Kurashiki Kuroto's voice that was not seen before, as well as a trace of imperceptible trembling.

Okita Souji put Kikuichimonji Norimune into the scabbard and replied calmly.

"My secret sword is the three levels of ignorance."

It is enough to be sublimated into a Noble Phantasm.

The rare genius swordsman Okita Souji's sure-kill demon sword, [One's Thrust] contains [Two's Thrust] and [Shen's Thrust].

The moment the three thrusts are activated, One's thrust, two's thrust, and Shen's thrust"exist" at the"same position" at the same time.

Even if One's thrust is blocked, Two's thrust and Shen's thrust will penetrate the same position.

Due to this contradiction, [Image Collapse] will occur locally at the tip of the sword, making the three-stage thrust a sword skill that cannot be defended.

Taking advantage of the [Image Collapse] caused by it, this move is also excellent at destroying objects.

"‘Are the three stages of ignorance sudden?……"

Kurashiki Kuroto repeated the name of this move several times, not knowing what kind of emotion he had.

"It's really... a very powerful sword. I feel that it is worth waiting for this sword, not to mention two years, even a hundred years."

"but……"

Kurashiki Kuroto stood up in a flash, turned around and glared fiercely at Okita Souji, who was leaning against him,"You guy, you didn't use all your strength, did you?"

Hearing this, Ayatsuji Ayase and those The followers were suddenly shocked.

Okita Souji didn't reply, but Kurashiki Kuroto didn't need her reply at all.

For swordsmen, the collision of swords is the best means of communication in the world.

The other party's character, the other party's past, the other party's goals, the other party's persistence, everything can be felt from the blade of the sword. so……

"I can feel that the sword in your hand is not used to protect or help anyone at all, but is wielded purely for killing."

The sword that has always been used for killing is now used for protection. Naturally, it cannot be regarded as full strength.

Because there is something on the blade that was not there originally.

"……Eh?"

Killing?

Ayatsuji Ayase's eye that was not covered by her hair looked at the petite figure in the field with some confusion.

Even though Kurashiki Kuroto said it so clearly, Okita Souji still He didn't turn around to answer him, which made him look like he was asking for trouble.

"……Tsk!"

Orochimaru disappeared from Kurashiki Kuroto's hands and was put away by him.

He covered his chest with one hand and walked towards the exit in a blink of an eye.

"Will you participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival? Then, when that time comes, I will be strong enough to let you use your full strength"

"When the time comes, let me see the sword that is even more stunning than before."

Okita Souji turned around, and then saw the scene of some followers trying to help Kurashiki Kuroto, but he punched him in the head.

Of course, Okita Souji has not forgotten the true purpose of coming here.

"What about this gym?"

"It's up to you, you won after all."

Kurashiki Kuroto waved his hand without looking back, as if he didn't care.

Okita Souji blinked his amber eyes, and then he was hugged.

"……Senior sister?"

The little eyes blinked, and Souji Okita didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, shouldn't it be better to take him back?

"Very good……"

The whispering sound as thin as a mosquito in his ears made Souji Okita look slightly sideways.

"Great...you're still here...you didn't leave me……"

Okita Souji wants Ayatsuji Ayase to believe her.

However, the scenes that had been repeated in her nightmares appeared in front of her again during the battle between Okita Souji and Kurashiki Kuroto.

And it's even more dangerous than it was two years ago.

Since her father was not a swordsman, he and Kurashiki Kuroto fought with only wooden swords.

But at this moment, the battle between Okita Souji and Kurashiki Kuroto was using their respective spiritual equipment.

She didn't dare to look away from Okita Souji, as if if she looked away for just a moment, the schoolgirl who had fought so hard for her would fall to the ground like her father.

If something like that really happened...she might never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Because the school girl was involved because of her. but……

"You really did it...Director……"

Crying with joy...probably used at this time.

It felt like the sun had finally cleared up, and the nightmare that had been haunting her for two years disappeared because of the person in her arms.

The opponent really won, even that guy who was as powerful as a monster.

In the past two years, in order to regain his home, to avenge his father, and to prove the"Ayatsuji One Sword Style", Ayatsuji Ayase has never given up challenging Kurashiki Kurashiki.

But in the end, he was just judged by the other party as"a guy who can't even kill time."

Therefore, she wants to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival as a representative.

Because Kurashiki Kuroto is one of the representatives of Tanlang Academy, as long as she can reach the stage of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, she will have one last chance.

However, just today, her favorite elementary school girl fulfilled her promise.

Take back everything Ayatsuji Ayase lost and come back safely.

Okita Souji fulfilled all the handsome words he promised her before.

"Senior sister, can you let me go... I'm a little embarrassed"

"No, just let me hold you for a little while... just a little while……"

Ayatsuji Ayase, who has always given the impression of being shy, is now showing a rare strength.

What is this emotion lingering in my heart?

Peace of mind? Like? rely?

Even Ayatsuji Ayase herself couldn't understand the true nature of this burning emotion.
